Heavy Duty Casters (Up to 17,500 lb Capacity)

Heavy Duty Casters

Heavy duty casters are engineered for extreme industrial loads, harsh environments, and continuous duty cycles where lighter designs fail. This category includes heavy duty caster configurations supporting loads up to 17,500 lbs per caster, depending on series and application.

Use this page to select the correct heavy duty caster configuration by plate size, performance design (kingpinless, low profile, AGV-rated), or operating environment (high heat).

Plate Casters — 4.5" × 6.25" Plate Up to 2,500 lb • Popular heavy duty industrial plate size Plate Casters — 6.25" × 7.5" Plate Up to 9,500 lb • Larger footprint for heavier frames Plate Casters — 6.5" × 7.5" Plate Up to 10,000 lb • Heavy industrial equipment applications Kingpinless Casters Up to 7,200 lb • Impact resistant for debris and shock loading Low Profile Heavy Duty Casters Up to 16,000 lb • Reduced overall height, extreme load capacity AGV-Rated Casters (24/7 Operation) Up to 15,400 lb • Engineered for autonomous and continuous service High Heat Casters Up to 9,000 lb • Continuous temperatures up to 750°F

When to Use Heavy Duty Casters

Extremely heavy industrial carts and machinery
AGV and automated transport systems
Facilities with rough floors, debris, or impact loading
High-temperature or harsh industrial environments

Selection tip: For loads above 10,000 lbs, floor condition, wheel material, and swivel construction are critical. Kingpinless and low-profile designs often prevent premature failure under extreme duty.

Heavy Duty Casters FAQ

What are heavy duty casters used for?

Heavy duty casters are used on extremely heavy equipment, industrial carts, AGVs, and machinery where load, impact, and continuous duty exceed standard caster limits.

How much weight can heavy duty casters support?

Depending on configuration, heavy duty casters can support from 2,500 lbs up to 17,500 lbs per caster under appropriate operating conditions.

When should I choose low profile heavy duty casters?

Low profile casters are ideal when overall height is limited but extremely high load capacity is required.

Can you help select or match a heavy duty caster?

Yes. Provide plate size, bolt pattern, wheel size, load, floor condition, and photos. Our team will recommend the correct heavy duty solution.
